The procurement process involves the Ministry of Defence, specifically the Defence Equipment and Support (Bath) division, which has awarded a contract for "Microsoft VDA Licences". This procurement falls under the software package and information systems category (CPV code 48000000) and is aimed at delivering goods over a contract period commencing on 30th April 2019 and concluding on 29th April 2021. The procurement method used was selective, based on a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period closing on 10th April 2019.

This contract presents significant business opportunities, especially for companies specialising in software solutions and IT services. Businesses that provide Microsoft licensing and related software products would be particularly well-positioned to compete given the nature of the services required. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as they form a crucial part of the contracting authority's supplier diversity initiatives.
